Yankees pitching coach Dave Eiland to return Tuesday

Yankees pitching coach Dave Eiland will return Tuesday from his leave of absence, which began June 4. Joe Girardi did not offer details on where Eiland was during that time, but said he did keep tabs on the Yankees and watched some games.

“I think as a coaching staff we function very well together,” Girardi said. “Guys had to step up in his absence. All of us had to step up, but it’s good to be whole again. I said all along that we were going to miss him, but I thought we did a good job of weathering the storm.”
